Best & Cool Bars in Garland

"Between the expansive rooftop patio and the top-notch cocktails, diners would be hard-pressed to find a better warm weather hangout than this. Try the Double Under, a mix of beet-infused tequila spiked with lime and rosemary syrup, and enjoy the sunset."

"Nestled in a stunning neo-French classical-style complex, the four-star Hotel Crescent Court doesn't just boast a terrific location in the heart of the Uptown, it's also home to Nobu, one of the world's most renown Japanese restaurants. The hotel's 191 rooms range in size from 380 to 3,035 square feet and include living areas as well as marble bathrooms stocked with Natura BissÄ" toiletries and private balconies.

As an added bonus, hotel guests can also enjoy dining in the private Crescent Club located on the 17th floor of the Crescent Complex's center office tower. Speaking of the Crescent Club, time your stay on a weekend when you can take advantage of the restaurant's limitless Sunday lobster brunch. Recommended for Luxury Hotels because: Hotel Crescent Court is on the Conde Nast Traveler Gold List for Best Hotels in the United States."

"The hip and happening Uptown area is also home to Hotel Crescent Court, a classy 4-star resort with top-notch facilities. From the wonderfully designed bar & lounge to the homely dwellings, Hotel Crescent Court is an excellent example of architectural elegance mixed with modern conveniences. Arrange a stay in the Studio Suite, Junior Suite, or Loft Suite to benefit from a hot tub."

"If you just got off work downtown and are looking to grab a drink with co-workers, Happiest Hour is your best bet. The large bar features both patio and rooftop seating."

"Livelycrowds, especially on weekend afternoons, flock to the rooftop patio, which delivers great views of downtown along with comfy sofas and a bar facing the Dallas skyline. Grab some friends for brunch and large-format cocktails ranging from Tito’s Handmade Vodka mules to the refreshing Yes Way Frozé while getting your fill of calories from smoked brisket breakfast tacos or chicken fried steak and eggs."

"Another Deep Ellum neighborhood restaurant and bar, Stirr, has an excellent rooftop area with a bar and comfy chairs. Open for brunch, lunch, happy hour, and dinner; enjoy shrimp pappardelle, blackened redfish, or surf ‘n turf, a petite filet with a Maryland-style crab cake. For drinks, order the Don’t Fear the Reaper made with Mezcal Patron Reposado or Blood Moon with Scotch and blood orange juice."

"With two levels of dance floors and a rooftop terrace to admire the Dallas skyline, The Nines is the place to be on a Friday night. Those who prioritise good music above all will absolutely adore the funky mix of 80s hits, hip hop, and EDM from the live DJs. On top of finger-licking good food and an awesome light programme, you’re always sure to have a good time breaking it down at The Nines."

"The rooftop patio here is perfect for music obsessives, thanks to the DJs and virtual music events hosted at the Nines five days a week. The cocktail specials are also compelling, including $5 drinks made with Espolon tequila on Tuesdays and $3 well drinks every single day from 7 p.m."

"You don’t have to sacrifice nuance or quality to get down at this club known for hosting the best DJs in the country. Underground house, darkwave, Euro-dance nostalgia, and juicy pan-Latin beats are all game on this main floor."

"Seven years ago, something magical happened in a strip mall off Mockingbird Lane: Stacie and Dale Czech opened Lakewood Growler, a tiny beer bar with 36 taps. At the risk of romanticizing the place, it has become a linchpin of East Dallas, and I expect one day the history books about Dallas will include at least a chapter on the Growler’s influence on our city’s civic and cultural life. Politicians and pastors, musicians and media members, even lawyers share bench seating at tables built by the Czechs, talking over the issues of the day and telling jokes unfit for children’s ears, even though children are oftentimes present."

For Abacus, their food and drinks are an expression of art, as they stretch your sense of imagination by continuously testing new dishes, and allows its guests to discover new flavours that they didn’t think existed before. Using only locally grown and sourced products, their menu is a fusion of Mediterranean, American Southwest, and the Pacific Rim."

"For meat eaters wanting something more than a chain steakhouse, or anyone with a taste for inventive contemporary cuisine, Abacus, 3 miles north of downtown, delivers the beef. Start with sushi or the wildly..."

"All the seafood ingredients you would expect to find in a seafood restaurant are available to buy from the market to take home or to have cooked for you in the restaurant. Many people sit at the bar with a beer to eat their food, as this is a very casual place to eat. One thing that you can count on is the freshness of the ingredients served."

"Originally built as a fraternal lodge over a century ago, Sons of Hermann Hall now serves as a dance hall and live music venue, hosting everything from folk, country and blues to alternative pop and reggae every Friday and Saturday night. In addition to concerts, the Hall features an array of events during the week, including Wednesday night swing classes and a Thursday acoustic campfire jam. When you're ready for a breather, head to the bar downstairs where a jukebox, pool table and shuffleboard provide a nice diversion."

"On Wednesdays, this Dallas dance hall offers swing dancing lessons for any skill level. They also hold frequent live concerts and campfire acoustic jams once a week. Beyond all the music magic, visitors will definitely appreciate the history behind the place."

"Situated in Dallas’s pretty White Rock Lake area, White Rock Alehouse & Brewery feels like a cozy neighborhood hangout spot. Founded by two East Dallas locals with a serious mutual love for craft beer, this alehouse and brewery provides the perfect location to relax with friends and family for the day. Apart from their extensive selection of beers (both locally-brewed and curated from elsewhere), White Rock Alehouse has a delectable food menu that pairs perfectly with the booze—think poblano mac and cheese, jumbo-sized tater tots, ahi tuna nachos, pretzels, and more."

"Located near White Rock Lake, this brewery comes from two East Dallas locals with a mutual love of craft beer. They have  12 of their own beers on tap including Belgian bruts and Blonde ales to Mexican-style lagers and milk stouts. You can also take beer home in a growler, crowler or keg."

"When you pull up to the building that once housed a YMCA, you might think the patio is only the ad hoc room on the side, wrapped in plastic."
